Leim Patent No. 66,755, dated Juzg) 16, 1867.

y a IMPROVEMENT IN HOOKS FOR WATCH-CHAINS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAYVCONCERN:

Be it known that I, ANTONY WALLACE, of the oity" and State `of New York, have invented, made, and .applied to use a certain new and useful Improvement in Hooks 'for Watch-Chains; and I do hereby declare the `following to be-afull, clear, and exact description of' the 4said invention, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making part of this specification, wherein- Y Figure 1 is aside view of said hook as open for receiving the ringiof the watch, and

Figure is a viewed-gewise of the hooks when` closed.

`Similar letters denote the same parte.

Hooks have heretoforebeen made for watch-chains in which two hooks have been united by ajoint-pin, the hooks opening orY swinging sidewise. My invention, therefore, does not consist in a pair of` hooks united together, butit does consist in a `saddle-piece, unitedto the hooks by the joint-pin of said hooks, in combination with a swivel-ring attached to the central part of said saddle, whereby the chain is left free to tur'n on the .swivel and hook, o r the watch and hook to turn oh the chain, and the watch and chain are reliably connected together. i

In the drawing, a and I: arethe hooks, united together by the jointepin e, the shank of one hook being `recessed for the point-0f theother hoolgso that the eye formed may be smooth when the hooks are shut together` .d is the saddle, the ends of which receive the joint-pin c, and thereby the hooks and saddle are attached together. The saddle al extends up over the joint of the hooks, and is provided with 'a stud, around which the cylindrical part e of the ring passes, the parte forming a swivel, thercylinder e turning beneath the head of the stud l that is fastened in the saddle d.

What I claim, and desire to secure-by Letters Patent, is- 4The hooks a and b, united by thejoint-pin c, in combination with 'the saddle d and swivel, ais specified.

In witness Ywhereof I have hereunto set my signature this second day of February, A. D. 1867.

ANTONY WALLACH.
